v2.11.6

• The Qt brain now correctly treats calling .disconnect() (with no
  arguments) on a slot as valid.

• The argparse brain no longer incorrectly adds "Namespace" to the locals
  of functions that return an argparse.Namespace object.

  Refs pylint-dev/pylint#6895

v2.11.5

• Fix crash while obtaining object_type() of an Unknown node.

  Refs pylint-dev/pylint#6539

• Fix a bug where in attempting to handle the patching of distutils by virtualenv,
  library submodules called distutils (e.g. numpy.distutils) were included also.

  Refs pylint-dev/pylint#6497

v2.11.4

• Fix col_offset attribute for nodes involving with on PyPy.

• Fixed a crash involving two starred expressions: one inside a comprehension,
  both inside a call.

  Refs pylint-dev/pylint#6372

• Made FunctionDef.implicit_parameters return 1 for methods by making
  FunctionDef.is_bound return True, as it does for class methods.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#6464

• Fixed a crash when _filter_stmts encounters an EmptyNode.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#6438

v2.11.3

• Fixed an error in the Qt brain when building instance_attrs.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#6221

• Fixed a crash in the gi brain.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#6371

v2.11.2

• Avoided adding the name of a parent namedtuple to its child's locals.

  Refs pylint-dev/pylint#5982

v2.11.1

• Promoted getattr() from astroid.scoped_nodes.FunctionDef to its parent
  astroid.scoped_nodes.Lambda.

• Fixed crash on direct inference via nodes.FunctionDef._infer.

  Closes #817

v2.11.0

• Add new (optional) doc_node attribute to nodes.Module, nodes.ClassDef,
  and nodes.FunctionDef.

• Accessing the doc attribute of nodes.Module, nodes.ClassDef, and
  nodes.FunctionDef has been deprecated in favour of the doc_node attribute.
  Note: doc_node is an (optional) nodes.Const whereas doc was an (optional) str.

• Passing the doc argument to the __init__ of nodes.Module, nodes.ClassDef,
  and nodes.FunctionDef has been deprecated in favour of the postinit doc_node attribute.
  Note: doc_node is an (optional) nodes.Const whereas doc was an (optional) str.

• Replace custom cachedproperty with functools.cached_property and deprecate it
  for Python 3.8+.

  Closes #1410

• Set end_lineno and end_col_offset attributes to None for all nodes
  with PyPy 3.8. PyPy 3.8 assigns these attributes inconsistently which could lead
  to unexpected errors. Overwriting them with None will cause a fallback
  to the already supported way of PyPy 3.7.

• Add missing shape parameter to numpy zeros_like, ones_like,
  and full_like methods.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#5871

• Only pin wrapt on the major version.

v2.10.0

• Fixed inference of self in binary operations in which self
  is part of a list or tuple.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#4826

• Fixed builtin inference on property calls not calling the postinit of the new node, which
  resulted in instance arguments missing on these nodes.

• Fixed a crash on Super.getattr when the attribute was previously uninferable due to a cache
  limit size. This limit can be hit when the inheritance pattern of a class (and therefore of the
  __init__ attribute) is very large.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#5679

• Include names of keyword-only arguments in astroid.scoped_nodes.Lambda.argnames.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#5771

• Fixed a crash inferring on a NewType named with an f-string.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#5770

• Add support for attrs v21.3.0 which
  added a new attrs module alongside the existing attr.

  Closes #1330

• Use the end_lineno attribute for the NodeNG.tolineno property
  when it is available.

  Closes #1350

• Add is_dataclass attribute to ClassDef nodes.

• Use sysconfig instead of distutils to determine the location of
  python stdlib files and packages.

  Closes #1282
  Ref #1103

• Fixed crash with recursion error for inference of class attributes that referenced
  the class itself.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#5408

• Fixed crash when trying to infer items() on the __dict__
  attribute of an imported module.

  Closes #1085

• Add optional NodeNG.position attribute.
  Used for block nodes to highlight position of keyword(s) and name
  in cases where the AST doesn't provide good enough positional information.
  E.g. nodes.ClassDef, nodes.FunctionDef.

• Fix ClassDef.fromlineno. For Python < 3.8 the lineno attribute includes decorators.
  fromlineno should return the line of the class statement itself.

• Performance improvements. Only run expensive decorator functions when
  non-default Deprecation warnings are enabled, eg. during a Pytest run.

  Closes #1383

v2.9.3

• Fixed regression where packages without a __init__.py file were
  not recognized or imported correctly.

  Closes #1327

v2.9.2

• Fixed regression in astroid.scoped_nodes where _is_metaclass
  was not accessible anymore.

Closes #1325
